58937, problem with early morning start
Posted by REV_GSlow, Sep-10-03 02:02 PM
the car will start and immediatly try to bog down and cut off once the initial starting rev comes down. This morning it did it three times in a row. I sounds like the car is bogging, and i usually hit the gas to make sure it doesnt cut off. Once i start driving i dont have the problem again until the next morning. Could the be the idle air control motor, or could it be something else? BTW, i dont have any CEL's

in my opinion.... you dont ever really need to replace the IAC unless it goes electronically wrong...the mechanics of those bitches last forever. just clean it really good and do a throttle body service, you'll be fine. your plugs might be the culprit too

Mine started doing that a while back. When I first start it, it acts like it is going to quit for about 2 seconds, then it revs up, and it is fine till the next morning.

i get that cold start thing and i live in FL lol, its not the weather lol, it never really bothered me, after 2 seconds of bogging it goes to normal so i dont care, its probbaly just the TB needing to be cleaned or a dirty injecotr
